Room Match is a PvP game mode in Umamusume Pretty Derby that allows you to compete with other players using your team of veteran horse girls (umas). The mode goes beyond a simple multiplayer lobby setup, with detailed hosting settings and options to facilitate spectating. The mode’s ample features make it great for friends racing their veteran umas in informal competition, as well as for content creators hosting private tournaments.

How To Unlock Room Match in Umamusume: Pretty Derby

To be able to play in Room Match, your team’s rank must be at least “E3.” This is easy to accomplish once you have completed Career Mode a few times, winning a few G1 races, if not the URA Finale. Once you have a few veteran umas with ranks above E, place them in your team via Race > Team Trials > Edit Team. That should increase your team level past E3 and unlock Room Match for you.
